The Crazy Horse Memorial has been going since the 1940s. It's progressing nicely.

If I'm reading all this correctly, it sounds like Apple has a system that will automatically play unintended music at various times from the music library. The only way to prevent this is to completely wipe out the entire library.

And the chief complaint is that there is an album in the library.

If you guessed the 19th century, you were off by a bit more than 16 years.

Ember is working through a migration replacing their build system and bundler with Vite -- all while maintaining backwards compatibility to a version released in 2021. Ember will be fun to watch in the coming year.

I think "it" is the startup, not Delphi.

New comment by earthtograndma in "Crossing the USA by Train"

The very next sentence is: "However, many freight railroads ignore the law because it is extremely difficult for Amtrak to enforce it, and as a result, people and the American economy suffer."

This entire page is an attempt by Amtrak to explain why the trains are always waiting for freight traffic. I've taken the train many times, and they yield to freight traffic for hours every trip.

In the 90s, he had a meaty part in a John Sayles movie named Lone Star. It's an indie masterpiece; really wonderful. Chris Cooper, Matthew McConaughey, and Elizabeth Peña are in it.

I notice it's written in Ember, which is billed as the framework for ambitious web developers -- in this case, it definitely checks out.

He was talking about his election in 2016, claiming that Foxconn would not invest this great sum of money had Hillary Clinton been elected. As usual, he was looking backwards and spewing nonsense.
